Virat Kohli has the wrong impression that Bangladeshi batsman are good against spin. 3 spinners on this wicket would have been lethal

No one is really good against spin these days, not even India though we do have the best spinners. I'd expect Aswin & Jadeja to take bulk of the wickets here, quickly if the pacers (excluding the GOAT pacer obviously) don't spray it around too much.

The cracks will open up tomorrow. Good toss to win for India because they don't have to bat with the wide open cracks and we will.

Keeper wasn't convinced, bowler wasn't sure and the batsman wasn't really happy with the decision( again u can say batsman r never happy with the decision that goes again them).

But what I'm saying is that even third umpire was initially saying that there's some daylight between the edge of the bat and ball but gave the decision in favour of the bowler based on snicko. It would've been much more convincing if hot spot was used in this match. It was indeed a Lucky wicket.

As I said,: Conspiracy! Even the moon landing hoax guys say that we need more evidence to convince us! All conspiracy theorists want one more proof than already presented to them.

And Saha's trolling of his haters continues as he gets his hundred with a six!

Hahaha.. Couldnt care less about comments from immature lil kids.

Just cuz he scored a 100, you may have the level of maturity to exempt him, I do not.
His hoicks have costed us, and he still does the same thing. Only cuz he was lucky, the likes of you are ready to overlook anything. Seems like the immature posters have gotten the better of you, or you were never mature yourself.

Why doesn't Kohli put in 3 slips for Umesh, there's at least six times before this (vs Eng) that I saw catches go between two slips or a slip & a gully! He really should be backing his best pacer with more catching men

In football, players and managers like to call themselves unlucky if they are hitting the woodwork a lot. Like United this season and Liverpool a couple of years back. I think that is bullsh*t and hitting the woodwork is a sign of poor finishing.

In a similar vein, there is often a tendency to call a bowler unlucky when he keeps missing the edge or the lbw decision. Like Amir in Brisbane (?) or Umesh today.

Isn't it just a case of a swing bowler not able to bowl the right length?

There is good unlucky and bad unlucky.

Ishant is unlucky cos he doesn't pitch it too full so he gets the oohs and aahs but not wickets. When he pitches it full, he doesn't get those almost dismissals but he gets out batsmen.

Amir (recently) and Ishant are examples of bad unlucky (leaving aside the drop catches off Amir where he was genuinely unlucky). Sometimes Umesh is also in the same category due to lack of consistency.

Then there are times when bowlers bowl their heart out and are unlucky. Like Umesh in Rajkot when he deserved a fifer.

Rule of thumb: If you are ALWAYS unlucky game after game...series after series, its not ill luck. Its you.

The difference is goal post is static and batsman's bat is not. So bowlers have to dynamically change the nature of delivery.

For the couple of years we all are saying our stubborn board BCB that they should kick out Riyadh from the test team and they do not listening. Riyadh was nothing ever in test,a total failure. Mosaddek/nurul/nazmul should be tried his place. I am sure they will do much better than him if given chance.

Not to be rude but I notices throughout my life that most people who call others immature are guilty themselves. Don't know why u called him that as I don't follow Saha but just found it interesting

Bangla boys getting smacked like usual. Yet their fans were bragging about how India don't invite them cuz they r scared. Do Bangla fans have no shame? I hope they learn some humility after Bangla lose this match by record deficit

Hahaha....are they worse than NZ,eng who have played tons of test in ind??? How can you expect a team do better than others who never played in ind?? Expectation should be realistic. If bd had played 3/4 test series like others and still did like this match then you should criticize them and that would be justified. The team who never played there and do bad,you can't criticize them like what you are doing. Be realistic and criticize accordingly please.

After playing so much test in away (non sc) for lots of decades , ind and Pak is still rubbish there,then how can you expect bd who get chance to tour very little,will do much better than ind/pak???? This is ridiculous expectation. Expectation should be realistic. First let bd well in home,then let them play in foreign soil for 5-10 years regularly and then expect them to do well. Other than every words or criticize is not justified. If you want any team do well anywhere then let them play there regularly and then expect. A team who never played there in 17 years,then how could you expect good play from them. This is test and it is a very hard game to be good.

The question was about "getting scared"! It is true that Bangla fans are arrogant! Got to learn something from Srilankan fans (in the 80s, 90s) who just kept supporting their team until they became formidable! They even were supporting Indian and Pakistan teams when we played against other teams.
